Default SUMIF <

Hi everyone,

Someone wrote this function in a workbook that I am asked to describe:
SUMIF($K94:$R94;"<";$K$9:$R$9)
And it actually yields 2! I can understand SUMIF if the criteria part is
something like "3" or "67" - but how should I interpret "<"? What does it
mean?

Thank you,

Cooz

Hi Bob,

Not blank makes perfect sense.
Thank you.

Hi Gary''s Student,

I should have mentioned that I knew that it meant "not equal". I wondered
what it should not be equal to.
